Overview
We are looking for an experienced and pragmatic Engineering Manager to build and lead a team of software engineers in delivering high-quality, scalable, and integrated solutions. This role combines technical leadership, systems thinking, and people management, with a strong focus on interoperability between built and bought systems, data protection, and sustainable delivery.
Key Responsibilities
Lead, mentor, and support a cross-functional team of engineers, fostering a high-performance and inclusive engineering culture.
Provide architectural oversight across the systems the team owns, ensuring scalable, secure, and maintainable solutions aligned with business objectives.
Review and guide the non-functional requirements (e.g. performance, security, reliability, scalability) and integration capabilities of third-party systems, ensuring they meet enterprise and operational standards.
Oversee the design, build, testing, and long-term management of integrations between in-house and vendor platforms.
Ensure responsible stewardship of data—maintaining data quality, access controls, protection, and lifecycle management.
Collaborate with product leaders and business stakeholders to shape technical delivery plans that support strategic goals.
Drive engineering best practices including sustainable engineering, DevOps, test automation, continuous integration, and modern deployment pipelines.
Balance technical debt, feature delivery, and platform health, making informed trade-offs where necessary.
Support hiring and onboarding, contributing to the growth and capability development of the team.
Use metrics and monitoring tools to assess system health and team performance, and lead improvements as needed.
Driving a Product Operating Model culture.
Requirements
Proven experience leading and growing software engineering teams in a collaborative, agile, product-driven environment.
Strong hands-on background in software engineering, with deep knowledge of the Microsoft technology stack (.NET, C#, Azure) as well as experience with modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (e.g. Node.js, React).
Solid experience in evaluating, integrating, and managing third-party or SaaS systems within a broader IT estate.
Strong understanding of non-functional requirements and architectural principles for distributed, cloud-native systems.
Experience building and maintaining robust APIs, data pipelines, and secure system integrations.
Knowledge of DevOps practices, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud platforms (preferably Azure).
Excellent communication, influencing, and stakeholder management skills.
Ability to bring teams and disparate working groups together to balance demand and changing business requirements.
Desirable
Experience modernising legacy systems or leading through complex system transitions.
Familiarity with UK data protection regulations (e.g. GDPR) and enterprise information governance.
Previous experience in hybrid estates combining custom applications and commercial off-the-shelf solutions.
